However, not many have dealt with the challenges that Irina Slutskaya has faced. From a young age, Irina learned to cope with health problems. She loved figure skating and didn't want to let her asthma stop her. Irina knew she could take care of herself and become a champion figure skater. In 1996, she became the first Russian woman to win the Women's European Figure Skating title. She also won the title in 1997 and finished third at the 1996 World Championship. She continued to improve her skills and win competitions. In 2002, Irina won her first World Championship title. Later that year, she was faced with one challenge that was out of her control. Her mother was very sick and Irina had to stop skating to take care of her. A year later, her mother's health improved and Irina was ready to return to skating. However, then her own health began to suffer and Irina feared that she would never skate competitively again. Amazingly, Irina began skating again in 2005. She trained very hard and gave her best performance ever. Irina won her second World Championship title in front of her family and friends in Moscow.
